The Union Company Promotes Scottish Fishing Venture
An Edinburgh style prospectus describes The Union Company formed to revive English fishing and manufacturing trade. It explains a share plan offering 1 percent per contributor, with caps on signatories, and outlines contracts with Scots coastal interests. Office details and office hours are given at North's Coffee-house near Guildhall. A horse race schedule in Coventry and Newport Pagnell follows, with entries, purses, and entrance fees for multiple races. Also advertised are patent dental tonics and notices seeking two missing soldiers with rewards offered.
